There are 5 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Wednesday and Thursday and we suggest a bet in each of them.
WEDNESDAY
Swallows v Chippa United – Click here to bet
Swallows are currently 3rd on the log with 4 wins in their last 5 matches. They beat AmaZulu 2-1 at home last time out and they have won 2 and lost 2 of their 4 home matches.
Chippa United are 5th on the log, 1 point behind Swallows, but having played a game more. They have won 3 of their last 4 matches including an upset win over SuperSport United at home last time out. Their last away game was a 2-1 win over Richards Bay and they have won 2 and drawn 1 of their 3 away games this season.
Swallows are 21/20 for the win here, but I fancy a draw as both these sides are in form and there shouldn’t be much between them.
Suggested Bet: The draw at 21/10
Cape Town Spurs v SuperSport United –Click here to bet
Cape Town Spurs are bottom of the log and are still looking for their first point after 7 matches. They went down 3-1 to Cape Town City away last time out and their last home game was a 2-1 defeat to Arrows.
SuperSport United are 4th on the log, but have suffered 2 defeats in their last 3 games including a shock 1-0 defeat at Chippa United last time out. They have played 3 matches on the road this season, winning 1, drawing 1 and losing 1.
Cape Town Spurs are conceding an average of over 2 goals per game and I think they will find SuperSport too strong.
Suggested Bet: SuperSport United, Totals over 1.5 goals at 11/10

Richards Bay v Polokwane – Click here to bet
Richards Bay are currently second from bottom of the table with just 1 win in their opening 8 games. They drew 1-1 at TS Galaxy last time out and their last home game was a 2-1 defeat to Chippa United. At home this season they have played 4 games, drawing 1 and losing 3.
Polokwane have made a strong start to life in the DSTV Premiership and they are on 10 points from their opening 7 games sitting 8th on the table. They beat Royal AM 1-0 at home last time out an haven’t played on the road since late August when they went down 3-2 to Golden Arrows and in two starts away from home they have lost both matches.
Under 2.5 goals is trading short here at 5/10 and I am going to stick to the match result market where I fancy the away team to pick up 3 points.
Suggested Bet: Polokwane win at 39/20
Stellenbosch v TS Galaxy – Click here to bet
Stellenbosch are currently 14th on the log hovering just above the relegation zone. They have only won 2 of their 8 matches, but have only taken 1 point from the last 15 they have played for. Last time out they were away to Mamelodi Sundowns where they lost 3-1. Their last home game was a 2-0 loss to Swallows. They have only taken 3 points from a possible 12 at home this season.
TS Galaxy are currently 11th on the log and they haven’t won in their last 4 matches. They are coming off back-to-back draws at home to Richards Bay and Cape Town City and their most recent away games were defeats to AmaZulu and Royal AM both by 1-0 margins.
Only 3 of the 8 Stellenbosch matches have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers and in 7 TS Galaxy games this season there has only been a total of 6 goals. Both of these teams are under pressure, but I am going to back Stellenbosch to edge it.
Suggested Bet: Correct Score 1-0 at 9/2
THURSDAY
Sekhukhune v Golden Arrows – Click here to bet
Sekhukhune are currently 7th on the log and coming off a 2-1 away defeat to Kaizer Chiefs last time out. They have only played 2 home matches all season, but have lost both against Swallows and Sundowns.
Golden Arrows are 2nd on the log and they have taken 10 points from a possible 12 in their last 4 starts. They beat Cape Town Spurs 2-1 on the road last time out and that was their 3rd win in 4 road trips.
Arrows matches averaged 2.9 goals this season, 5 of the 7 games reaching the 3 goal mark and in a game where the bookmakers are struggling to separate the sides I am going to have a stab that we get 3 goals or more at 17/10.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 17/10
